    Sounds fun. I once drove from Pennsylvania to Indiana in a 12-hr stretch. One dream of mine is to buy a motorhome and drive across the country with my wife.

    You'll love it! And you can make a living doing it. All kinds of RV parks hire full-time RV'ers for everything from cleaning the park to selling camping memberships.

    Good for you! I had an easy drive today. I'm heading back to San Antonio a different way than I came. In 6 hours, I drove through 3 states today, Colorado, New Mexico, and finally Texas. I'm almost back home, y'all!

    There's not too much that beats a good road trip.

    I spent six weeks on the road last year. I drove from St. Augustine, Florida to Boston, Boston to Seattle, Seattle to Newport, Oregon, and then Newport to Boston on US-20, which is the longest road in the United States, before heading back to Florida. I picked my daughter up in Seattle and we had an absolute blast...

    Two hours is my absolute limit for driving now.
    I really could use a driver.
    I used to make my wife drive me everywhere, but she's worse than I am, now.

    The little Corvette is officially asleep for the winter, now, even though it's 70ºF in November, here,
    and the Grand Cherokee is a chore,
    even though it has electronic aides that the vintage roadster of course doesn't.

    It was raining yesterday in Portland, but when I got to Ashland (southern OR) it stopped and my navi took me east over the Sierras, through the Lassen NF in Northern CA and dumped me out in a town called "Susanville, CA". From Susanville it was a straight, 90-mile shot south to Reno. I made it in time to have all you can eat Sushi

    Note: I'm at the Circus Circus in Reno this morning. DO NOT STAY HERE. I've been coming here since the 80's and it's been great, but they've let it devolve into a dump. Holes in the lampshades, lights flickering in room, no toiletries in the bathroom.

    Also, a quick note about traveling alone: Getting back into my vehicle after a pee stop yesterday I heard a couple arguing about the guy's driving - "You drive like a maniac", she screamed at him. <-- I do not mind traveling alone one bit. I have satellite radio - that's all I need
    I hope you had fun. I used to travel a lot when I was younger. When I was discharged from the service I and some friends of mine took a trip from Monterey, CA down to Patagonia and back on motorcycles.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see
